THE FITNESS OF THINGS.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
Occasionally a nomination is made
by the simple fitness of things.
1t was in this way that Judge Hoff-
man received his nomination five years
ago. His name was placed on the
ticket by sort of acclamation that
had far more weight than any political
manipulation could have given it.
A sentiment, similar in strength and
sincerity, and born of a similar public
spiritedness, seems to point Its index
finger toward Hon. Thomas G. Nc
Culloh as a fit man TO head the demo
cratic ticket in the fall campaign.
When | made the statement some
time since that Mr.. McCulloh would be
eminently satisfactory to the Cumber-
land leaders it was shifted at in certain
quarters. To such | would commend a
recent letter in the Baltimore american
from its well informed Cumberland
correspondent. He says "the slate is
now Hon. Thomas G. McCulloh," and
he knows whereof he speaks.

4 NEW WRITER UPON An OLD
TOPIC.
FROsTBURG, Nh. July I. 1857.

FRosTBURG, MD, July I, 1887.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
The hottest season of the year is
upon us. In every city or town of
any Importance it has become Gus
tomary for stores to close early in the
evening. Unsuccessful attempts have
been made here to bring united action
among the merchants in the past.
Arguments pro and con have been
advanced, but experience teaches that
the early closing movement is of ben
eft to employer and employee. Many
business men hold that they "cannot
afford to close in the evening :" others
say that their "clerks are not over
worked" etc. They can afford it if
there is concentrated action taken.
'ln union there is strength" Who
can feel as the clerk does, being com
PEELED to remain in the store until nine
or ten o'clock in the evening, from
seven in the morning ? If the mer-
chants, one and all. should combine
to put into effect this early closing
movement, they will be the gamers as
well as their clerks. Once the move
ment is permanently inaugurated
you could not pay our merchants to
open their stores at night. Besides
business in this region is only trans
acted with people who know what a
hard days work is, and who can
sympathize with merchant and clerk.
When people begin to "love their
neighbor as Themselves and to "do as
they would be done by" they will
refuse 10 buy goods in the evening. If
our merchants will start the move
ment and should a few refuse to co
operate, | am satisfied it will not
benefit them any, and will prove to be
of no injury to those who observe the
laws of humanity. 1t is hoped that
business men and their employees can
soon be placed on level with other
creatures of this world. Let them
have few hours in the evening for
recreation, enjoyment and domestic
happiness. The public will certainly
endorse this movement and purchase
goods during the day, avoiding the
liability of buying green for blue
under the gaslight, and at hours when
all should be at rest. Civilization
demands that health is prerequisite
to proper performance of duty. The
clerk, if recuperated by an evenings
liberty, can greet his customer with
life and smile on his face which
applies equally to the merchant. Now
is the time for action. Let the
merchants take it in their hands and
push the work then it can be done
without "dictation" from their clerks.
The best and only way to accomplish
this philanthropic object is merchant,
clerk and customer to say 'united we
stand, divided we fall.n Very truly,
IIBERATOR

minous Coal Association" and this is
the organization which has brought
peace and comfort to the hearts of the
miners in this region. For the estab-
lishment and successful operation of
this instrumentality much credit is due
to c. F. Mayer, president of the Con-
solidation Coal Company. ] make
special reference to this gentleman,
for we are told that he was the leading
spirit in the formation of this great
institution. He labored necessarily
almost night and day to bring the soft
coal people together, knowing, as he
did, that this was the only means
whereby the wages of the miner could
be increased. [ am glad to know to-
day that his efforts were crowned with
success. The results accruing there
from, which are expressed in the first
sentence of this letter, are cheerful
and encouraging, and we trust the
good work may go on.

PRINCE FERDINAND, of Sake Co.
burg Gotha, was Thursday elected
prince of Bulgaria by the Sobrange.
To those persons who do not under
stand the term, "Sobrangc," it should
be stated that it is q peculiar repre-
sentative body of the people which
sometimes forgets the issue upon
which it was brought into existence.
The dispatch containing the above
news states also that "the announce
ment of the Sobrange's preference
for Ferdinand was received with
great enthusiasm"-a result so differ
ent from that which followed the
recent official prediction of the
people for Col Baughman that a
comparison of European and Amer
lean methods of political frenzy would
likely cause remark to our detriment.

THE JOURNALS recent portrayal
of the good times going in this
region is corroborated by "a Con-
solidation Miner"
The silence following our eloquent
remarks was so dense that we feared
that the surface view of things might
deceive even the very elect among
newspapers.
But at length here comes reliable
man who has seen the inside of the
pantry taken u survey Of the kitch-
en- enjoyed birds-eye view Of the
dining table at breakfast, dinner and
supper; and inspected the quantity
and quality of the wardrobe-this
man says the situation is one over
which all should rejoice.
And now, since he has so kindly
and explicitly endorsed our view Of
the general financial and domestic
condition of the region, it is nothing
more than fair that the JOURNAL
should reciprocate.
1t is pleasant, therefore, to assure
GA Consolidation Miner" that he is
endowed with rare insight into the
truth, and the rarer faculty of telling
it with a facility and fluency neatly
equal to the JOURNALS most palmy

ACCORDING to James Campbell,
Of Barton, Mrs. A. r. Maurice, who
spoke to ID. A. Al, recently in session
at Baltimore, stated that
She knew the man that stole the
Mining Ventilation bill. Our dele.
gates at once made arrangements for
an interview with her on this subject,
at which she stated that the man who
stole the bill belonged to the Crescent
Club, of Baltimore, and that he got
$500 for taking it. She also states
that Gov. II. Lloyd, Comptroller
Turner and Attorney General Roberts
connived at the abstraction Of said bill,
and, further, that one of Allegany's
legislators said, in urging the passage
Of said bill in the Legislature on the
Baltimore delegation, who were ad-
verse to voting in its favor, that it
would never become law. The SAID
delegate made the remark that he was
obligated to see it through, and if they
would help him he didn't give d-n
what became of it after it passed the
House Of Delegates.
If Mrs. Maurice entertains an idea
Of destroying gubernatorial timber,
now is the time to tell all she knows.
If she is merely seeking the de-
struction of Legislative underground,
she may wait a month or two.
In either case Mrs. Maurice
should come out strong with her
charges-and prove them.
Meanwhile, there are precious few
who seriously want to find the bill,
or again breathe into it the breath of
life. Region and people are getting
along magnifcently without it.

the Hotel Arcadia. Every advantage of
ocean and land view has been grasped by

It's natural advantages are climatic and

temperature changing but little in the
twenty-four hours On theocean side of the
hotel in the sun rooms, the temperature 10

IN the open sea, the beach being one oil the
most ceIt b-ated surf beaches In America.
The beach stretches for mi'es along the
shore, and the drive on the beach. as well as
10 the canyons and along the hill sides, v
picturesque and enjoyable.
The ho&. Itself Is a model OF comfort ana
elegance. We have but to mention lew OF
